This Tortellini Soup is Healthy, it’s Easy, and most importantly, it’s positively addictive.

I have to admit, I had help on this recipe. Angel, my little four-legged kitchen companion with right there with me, underfoot, for every step of this process.

Now, you have to understand something about Angel. As a papillon, she’s all French from her nose to her toes. Kind of like Remy in Ratatouille. And like Remy, she has a very sophisticated palate and, except for her dry salmon dog food, she leans mostly vegetarian. There are very few vegetables she won’t eat. Cooked or raw, she’s totally happy. So when she hears me in the kitchen chopping away, she instantly appears as she waits for her veggie handouts.

And this soup is packed with veggies.

So let’s make it.

How to Make Tortellini Soup

Begin with a mirepoix – celery, onions and carrots- and cook them with olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they just begin to caramelize. At that point add 2 cloves of garlic and smoked sausage and let it cook about another minute.

Then add in in the low sodium chicken broth. My favorite is Manischewitz because it has such a rich flavor that it tastes like you’ve been simmering this broth all day long.

At this point, turn the heat up to medium high and bring the soup up to a boil. Then add in the tortellini and let it cook another 6-7 minutes.

Finally remove the pot from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and raw baby spinach. Gently stir in the spinach until it just begins to wilt.

Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
